Don’t call Aziz Ansari a foodie.

The stand-up comedian and former star of NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” may spend a great deal of time considering where to find the best tacos or ramen, but he chafes at the haughty label.

“We’ve got to get rid of the word ‘foodie.’ [It] sounds so horrible,” Ansari, 32, tells The Post. “How come people that like good food have this weird word like they have some sort of fetish?

“I’m more puzzled by the people that will just eat anything — those are the weird people that need some sort of strange, derogatory nickname. I am a man of fine tastes and I enjoy a good meal and I think that’s totally acceptable.”

The rant wouldn’t feel out of place on Ansari’s new 10-episode comedy series “Master of None” (premiering Friday on Netflix), in which he stars as Dev, a 30-year-old single actor in New York pondering the pathway for the rest of his life — as well as topics like ageism, sex, relationships, racism and how to find the most delicious pasta for dinner.

Ansari co-created and co-wrote the show with former “Parks” writer Alan Yang, and while the series isn’t autobiographical (despite parallels to his own life), it marks the first role to reflect his comedic point of view after years in supporting parts on “Parks” and movies like “Funny People” and “Get Him to the Greek.”

“It’s a totally different character than what I’ve done before and I don’t think I would have gotten a role that was this deep on my own. No one would have sent me this script. They would have just sent me stuff where I’m yelling things that sound like ‘Treat Yo Self,’” he says, referencing his “Parks” character Tom Haverford’s signature catchphrase.

So Ansari (who also directs a few episodes) and Yang worked to make “Master of None” feel authentic, from its cinematic, lo-fi aesthetic and conversational tone to its diverse characters. In contrast to the quota-based minority casting on network sitcoms, Dev’s friends are an Asian man (Kelvin Yu), a black lesbian woman (Lena Waithe) and a man Ansari jokingly refers to as his “token white friend” (Eric Wareheim).

He even cast his own parents to play Dev’s Indian-immigrant mother and father after auditioning actors whose portrayals felt like ethnic caricatures.

Warning: Graphic content

Episodes analyze topics like text etiquette in dating, feminism and growing up first-generation American, which play on themes Ansari has explored in his latest stand-up tour and his 2015 book “Modern Romance.”

But “Master of None” also goes deeper, like in the episode “Indians on TV,” which delves into casual racism in Hollywood.

“My comedic viewpoint has developed in the last few years, especially my last few [standup] specials taking it into narrative form,” Ansari says. “There are little samplings [in ‘Master of None’] of all these things I’ve done and my personality in the show, but I think it’s a wholly separate thing that stands on its own.”
